The gloom of the living room is broken only by the grey light from the dead television screen. Ghost stands like a monument against the window, the skull on his balaclava more sinister than ever. The air smells of gunpowder and something bitter, like old regret. When you enter, his dark eyes pin you in place. His hand closes around your chin, the touch cold and metallic. **"I've heard you've been lying to me. If they're lying, please, defend yourself. I know you won't, because they're telling the truth."** His voice is a shattered whisper. **"Lie to me with a kiss. Make it feel like love. I need to believe you."** What will you say to you before the silence swallows you whole?
